Low Carb Weight Loss Challenge Rules

Photo based proof of the two Official Weigh-In’s must be provided as follows:

1 photo of the competitor standing barefoot on a scale, in gym suitable attire. No shoes and headwear are allowed.

1 close-up photo of the weight readout of the scale with the competitor standing on it. The photo must include the word of the day, which will be published on the web site each day or which can be mailed to you if you email support@decarbdiet.com and ask for it.

Weekly Weights:

In addition competitors are expected to weigh in once a week, between midnight on Thursday evening and midnight on Sunday evening. The weight entry form is on the DecarbDiet.com website, under your login and entry will take less than a few minutes to complete.

Submitting Photos

The two sets of official photos need to be submitted digitally by uploading them to the website, onto your profile page.

Photo PrivacyYour photos will never be shared or published in any way, (unless your permission is asked for and given). Your photos will only be viewed by the judges of the competition for judging purposes.

ScalesThe same scale should be used for official weigh-ins. If this is not possible please email support@decarbdiet.com for a rule relaxation. Where possible, scales should be digital or doctor’s scales and placed on a hard, flat surface.
